"When motorsport pedigree collides with performance gear, sparks fly-and sometimes those sparks land right on the trails. Team Ikuzawa, the cultural imprint launched by Japanese racing legend Tetsu Ikuzawa and now carried forward by his daughter Mai, has teamed up with performance powerhouse 100Percent for a collaboration that's as technical as it is stylish. The drop puts mountain biking front and center, with apparel that merges the precision of Japanese design with the full-throttle attitude of American motocross culture."
"While Tetsu Ikuzawa's name is stamped into Japanese racing history, his lesser-known obsession with mountain biking became the quiet passion project that shaped this collaboration. According to Mai Ikuzawa, her father never saw the sport as business-it was simply about the purity of engineering, the camaraderie of the community, and the thrill of riding. That passion eventually propelled his team to Japan's MTB Double Championship win, cementing an unconventional but deeply personal legacy."
"The limited-edition capsule is concise but potent. It features two hero pieces: the R-Core X jersey and R-Core X pants, both dressed in Team Ikuzawa's iconic red-and-white palette. The pants are all about precision, boasting a water-repellent finish, high-performance stretch fabric, and a BOA System waist for micro-adjustable comfort. They don't just fit-they lock in like a race harness. The jersey, meanwhile, channels the spirit of vintage moto apparel while updating it with modern technology."

The collection centers on two hero pieces—the R-Core X jersey and R-Core X pants—rendered in Team Ikuzawa's red-and-white palette. The pants feature a water-repellent finish, high-performance stretch fabric, and a BOA System waist for micro-adjustable comfort. The jersey updates vintage moto styling with modern technology and four-way stretch materials for trail flexibility. The collaboration stems from Tetsu Ikuzawa's passion for mountain biking and aims to honor competitive engineering and community-driven riding culture.
